38.


Enough! enough! enough!
Somehow I have been stunn’d. Stand back!
Give me a little time beyond my cuff’d head, slumbers, dreams, gaping ;
I discover myself on the verge of a usual mistake. 960
[38.1]

That I could forget the mockers and insults!
That I could forget the trickling tears, and the blows of the bludgeons and hammers!
That I could look with a separate look on my own crucifixion and bloody crowning.
[38.2]

I remember now;
I resume the overstaid fraction; 965
The grave of rock multiplies what has been confided to it, or to any graves;
Corpses rise, gashes heal, fastenings roll from me.
[38.3]

I troop forth replenish’d with supreme power, one of an average unending procession ;
Inland and sea-coast we go, and we pass all boundary lines;
Our swift ordinances on their way over the whole earth; 970
The blossoms we wear in our hats the growth of thousands of years.
[38.4]

Eleves , I salute you! come forward!
Continue your annotations , continue your questionings.
[38.5]
